Diversity week
Diversity Week (14-18 May) was an
opportunity for us to celebrate the richness of our
diversity. Only the second time, Affinity Sutton has put on
such an event, this year we went all out to engage staff and
residents.
It was an opportunity to showcase different
heritages through world food, dress, dance, African drumming, craft
workshops for the children and henna tattooing to mention a few
activities.
People of all ethnicities, ages and cultures
got involved in Leicester, Birmingham, Leeds, Newcastle, Milton
Keynes and Holmes Chapel in Cheshire.
The quizzes and competitions also meant that
prizes were on offer and people felt that they were very welcome
and could be themselves.
Sandra Sanglin, Diversity Manager said: "We
set out to demonstrate that we mean what we say about being
inclusive during Diversity Week, and we were far from disappointed
in the result".
